I prefer to build trust through actions rather than meetings. My 1:1s are mostly chit chat or occasionally sensitive topics because I am already keenly aware of what people are working on and what their bottlenecks are.

How? You would need to be on a team that's basically completely nailed safety in order to have an accurate view into that just from group conversations.

Not sure I follow. I am talking about human bottlenecks, not like API throughput.

I know, and normally the understanding is that it's hard to gather that information unless you speak directly to the people experiencing these bottlenecks in a... 1 on 1 conversation.
